To get a dry cut

[cheeseypizza]

Would I be unreasonable to go into a hairdressers just for a dry cut (or wet cut dunno the difference). Usually get a cut and blow dry but hate sitting for so long. But feeling stingy to just get a dry cut lol.

On the rare occasion I get a haircut - sister or mum usually do it for me - I go for a dry cut.

You are not stingy because you choose not to have a full hairdressing session.

I've had a few dry cuts over the years but find it's a nightmare if it doesn't sit properly when you've washed and dried it. My hairdresser cuts about 90% of mine wet and then tidies/thins it out when it's been dried.

I get what you mean about sitting there though, I don't enjoy the experience at all.

I only ever have a dry cut. Never been a problem in any hairdressers I’ve been to. They tend to damp it down first, cut then dry anyway. Anything between 15and 25 minutes for £10.00 near me.
Or I now go to a ‘barber’ shop who does a dry ladies cut for £6.00

Always have a wet cut without drying/styling. It's an extra £15 for no good reason unless I'm going out that night. I love the shampoo/conditioner/massage bit so wouldn't just have a dry cut. The only other time I have it dried is when I'm having a restyle and then I can see the styling technique.

Get the wash and cut. You pay a lot extra for the blow dry.
A dry cut won't look right.

One of my kids HAS to have a dry cut, it’s the only way to cut their type of hair. The rest of us have the usual wash and cut.

What do I ask for when I call for the appointment?

Wash & cut. No blowdry.
Dry cut. (Don't)

I rarely pay for a blow dry. I've got curly hair that's best left to dry naturally. I tried to make an appointment with a new salon a while ago and they refused to let me have a wet cut as they 'need to see what it looked like when it's dry'. I told them I'd go elsewhere as unless they dried it straight it it would look awful.

Ask for what you want, pay for what you want. Phone and ask for what you want.

Anything else we can help you with? Free between 12:30 and 2:00 if you need help crossing the road, your shoe laces or similar.

Curtainsopen: amusing but rather twattish.

Thanks to all for the helpful comments

I usually get a wash and cut no dry but that because it takes about an hour and a half to cut my hair and another 45 mins to blow dry and we are both exhausted by the end 😂

I have had wash and cut and it worked well.

If you are getting more than a couple of inches off, they may tell you it has to be a wash and cut. That's what I found. I mean paying an extra 20 quid for a bloody hairwash is a joke but i'd expect to be told it was the way it was to be now if I was getting more than a trim.

I would say a dry cut ( where in my experience they still spray the hair) works well on short hair.

Phone and ask the price for a cut and blow dry. THEN ask for the price for a wash and cut without the blowdry.

I've never had anything else - my hair would look ludicrous if cut wet. I've always been told to have it cut when it's at least a day past its last wash.

I cut my own hair now (dry!) and wash it as little as possible but I'd be a bit if anyone thought a dry cut was stingy.

I have curly hair so it's cut wet as if you'd brush it out it would go all frizzy. Then it's twisted and dried with a diffuser. From start to finish it takes 60 mins though my hair is usually not totally dry.

I only ever ask for a dry trim. I don’t have the time or energy to spend half the day at the hairdressers. She sprays it with water, cuts away & I get to go after only half an hour. She always does a lovely job.

Mine is going to be cut dry as the hairdresser won't do it wet.
It's very curly though and she's a specialist.
If it's got any curl or wave it's better cut dry, anyway.

Always have a dry cut, and I'm generally happier than when I used to pay 5x the price for wash and blow dry

I always have a dry cut but have been going to the same hairdresser's for years and just have a trim. She just sprays a bit of water on my hair before cutting it.

I think washing the hair first helps the hairdresser to do a better job if they don't know your hair and/or you're having it restyled.

I always have a dry cut, as I have curly hair and it's much better cut when dry

Will call tomorrow and make an appt, thanks all.
